Your welcome letter of August 7th together with the enclosed
programme of the English Bahá’í Summer School and Mrs.
Bishop’s notes on the Bahá’í session of the World Fellowship of
Faiths Congress have all duly arrived and been read with
sustained interest and deepest appreciation by our beloved
Guardian.
|
He has been particularly pleased to read Mrs. Bishop’s report
which is truly illuminating and highly encouraging. The Cause
has no doubt been well represented at the Congress, and the
attendants must have surely been deeply impressed by the
manner in which the Message was introduced and presented by
both the Bahá’í and non-Bahá’í speakers.
|
The Guardian feels particularly grateful for the share which
your N.S.A., as well as your distinguished and able co-workers
Mrs. Bishop and Madame Orlova have contributed towards the
success of the Bahá’í meeting. May the noble efforts which you
all have so unitedly and so successfully exerted in this connection
serve to attract, even as a magnet, the blessings of God and His
favours upon the entire community of the believers throughout
the British Isles.
|
With every good wish and hearty greetings to you, and to
your fellow-members in the N.S.A….
|
|
|
I rejoice to learn of the splendid work that has recently been
achieved. Your accomplishments should spur you on to achieve still
greater results in both the teaching and administrative spheres of
Bahá’í service. My prayers will be offered on your behalf. The work
in which you are so devotedly engaged is near and dear to my heart.
Persevere and never feel disheartened.
